For programmers this was explained by Brookes in Mythical Man Month back in 1975 - a timeless classic. The return to smaller units is a bigger trend I think. In 1955, Fortune 500 controlled 1/3 of US GDP. In 2000 it was 2/3. I think we are at an early stage of a massive trend that will reverse this. Not just tech/media but shops, farmers etc. Phew, it was all getting kinda white bread boring out there!
